I am a member of a local group, the Austin Photography Group. They recently started a monthly photo contest where the 450+ members can submit a favorite photo for the members to vote. Grant it, the first month there were only 28 submissions and who knows how many votes, but ultimately, my submission won. I was so excited. There was no prize. No publicity. But people out there appreciated my work and I couldn't be more thrilled. The announcement:
